Summary:
The Greenwood 52 school district in South Carolina is home to two strong-performing elementary schools: Ninety Six Primary (grades PK-2) and Ninety Six Elementary (grades 3-5). Both schools consistently rank in the top quarter of South Carolina elementary schools, with Ninety Six Primary earning a 5-star rating and Ninety Six Elementary earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, the schools excel, with students performing above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across grades 3-5. Ninety Six Elementary's 4th-grade science proficiency rate of 67% is particularly impressive, significantly higher than the state average of 49.1%. The schools also benefit from higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios compared to the state average, suggesting a focus on providing ample resources and personalized attention to students.
However, both schools face challenges with higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, an area that may require further investigation and targeted interventions. Additionally, the schools serve a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the need to address socioeconomic factors that may impact student success. Overall, the Greenwood 52 elementary schools are strong-performing institutions that are effectively serving their students, with opportunities for continued improvement in addressing attendance and equity-related concerns.
